No. 27. The Gospel Train

Chorus:
Get on board, children,
Get on board, children,
Get on board, children,
For there's room for many a more.

1
The gospel train is coming,
I hear it just at hand,
I hear the car wheels moving,
And rumbling thro' the land.
2
I hear the bell and whistle,
The coming round the curve;
She's playing all her steam and pow'r
And straining every nerve.
Cho.- Get on board, children, etc.
3
No signal for another train
To follow on the line,
O sinner, you're forever lost,
If once you're left behind.
Cho.- Get on board, children, etc.
4
This is the Christian banner,
The motto's new and old,
Salvaation and repentance
Are burnished there in gold.
Cho.- Get on board, children, etc.
5
She's nearing now the station,
O sinner, don't be vain,
But come and get your ticket,
And be ready for the train.
Cho.- Get on board, children, etc.
6
The fare is cheap and all can go,
The rich and poor are there,
No second-class on board the train,
No difference in the fare.
Cho.- Get on board, children, etc.
